Siri was one of the first voice assistants to access smartphones. It was acquired by Apple in 2010, first revealed the following year, October 2011, with the introduction of the iPhone 4S. Since then, the company has been integrating it with its other devices such as iPads, Apple Watch, computers with macOS, Apple TV or smart HomePod speaker.
However, in recent years, some voice assistants from this competition have passed Apple's proposal, especially in non-English languages. Its main competitors are Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, both installed on smart speakers, smartphones, televisions and tablets, which in languages such as Spanish often resolve users' requests for accuracy.
Despite launching Siri Shortcuts in 2018 to boost the power wizard, Apple should continue the step to find its competitors. Maybe the acquisition of a special implementation in the artificial intelligence Voysis be the push you need.

Apple has bought small technology companies from time to time, and as a general rule we do not talk about our goals or plans. – Apple speaker
Although Apple did not disclose any plans after Voysis' acquisition, due to its features, the company may have used the technology to improve Siri. A few months ago, it was known that Apple also took over Xnor.ai, another start of the technology used in the Wyze security cameras to locate people.
Another recent purchase of Curertino is Black Sky, an app for iOS smartphones that provide weather information. The fact is that the traditional iPhone Weather app hasn't introduced any changes in a long time, so Apple's goal would be to make progress.
